Calling forum members by their names?

@Molly

For example, since I mentioned I’m from Nigeria, little insults have been posted regarding language abilities and intelligence of African people.

You are quite the drama queen.
.

And you are queen of usage blunders.

[Ralf]

Are you are queen of usage blunders.

Is this a usage blunder?

[Molly]

Walfie! You’re back. In typical style.

[Torsten]

Molly, why do you call Ralf “Walfie”? You want to be called “Molly” and that’s what we do. Please address Ralf using his name. Thanks.[YSaerTTEW443543]

And, as you seem to be so continually interested in my life, background, language and language use, colour, gender, etc., why not set up a thread about it?

That would be interesting! I’m looking forward to it, because you are one of the most interesting figures in the forum.

It would indeed be an interesting thread. There are many aspects of Nigerian life we could discuss, without straying into personal details.

All the best,

MrP

OK, I’ll call Ralf by his chosen name. Will you now you ask Mr P to stop calling me “old chap” and referring to me as “he” and “him”? Thanks.

So, c’mon, set it up.

Actually, it’s not his chosen name but his given or real name.

As for Mr. P calling you “old chap” and referring to you as “he” and “him”, yes, I also think that he should explain why he is doing that.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Yes, ask him to explain right here and not in PMs. Ask him to stop it , will you?

[Torsten]

He has already stopped, hasn’t he?[YSaerTTEW443543]

@Torsten

He has already stopped, hasn’t he?

Even though I politely asked him to stop doing so, he’s continued to do so.

I’m not sure I mentioned any family members, old chap; so their whereabouts is irrelevant.

Hi Molly,

Is ‘Molly’ your moniker?

[MrPedantic]

@Molly

Yes, ask him to explain right here and not in PMs. Ask him to stop it , will you?

Hello my friend,

On other forums, you post as a British male of Anglo-Irish descent. This is consistent with the style and content of your contributions. I am inclined to think it is the truth. Hence “he” and “him”.

As for “old chap”: it is a friendly appellation, and should cause no offence. However, I won’t force it upon you.

With best wishes,

MrP

[Molly]

On other forums, you post as a British male of Anglo-Irish descent.

Absolute nonsense! My British male of Anglo-Irish descent husband used to post on forums you frequent, but was sniped off by you. A sad loss for the forum, but a kind of pathetic victory for you. I am Molly, Nigerian, and a woman. Understand?

As for “old chap”: it is a friendly appellation, and should cause no offence.

And you use it regulary for women, do you?

[MrPedantic]

@Molly

My British male of Anglo-Irish descent husband used to post on forums you frequent, but was sniped off by you.

And which threads would those be, my friend? Can you provide an example?

MrP

[Molly]

If you can tell me how to search back so far, I’ll find them. Also, know that I am no friend of yours, so “Molly” will do just fine, thanks.

[MrPedantic]

Well, which forum did you have in mind, and which member? (You mentioned more than one of the former; the search facilities may differ.)

[Molly]

Let me get this straight: You tell me that you thought I was my husband, the “British male of Anglo-Irish descent”. So which forum and poster were you referring to?

[MrPedantic]

Actually, I didn’t mention a husband, as far as I know.

But you mentioned a thread (or threads) in which I had “sniped off” a certain poster from certain forums; so you would presumably know which poster and forums were involved. If you tell me, I’ll see if I can find his posts for you.

With best wishes,

MrP

[Molly]

Actually, I didn’t mention a husband, as far as I know.

What a strange conversationalist you are, Mr P.

You assert “On other forums, you post as a British male of Anglo-Irish descent.”

I tell you you are mistaken and talking about my husband.

After being told that, you say you didn’t mention a husband.

Odd conversation.

So, by saying “you post as a British male of Anglo-Irish descent” I assumed you knew which poster and fora you were talking about.

So why ask

“Well, which forum did you have in mind, and which member?”?

Let me put it more simply: What was the name of this “British male of Anglo-Irish descent”, and on which forum did he post?
